A fashion icon shares recommendations and memories of the books that inspired him throughout his career.
Tim Gunn is the Emmy Award-winning host and producer of the hit series Project Runway and Project Runway Junior. He is a New York Times best-selling author for his books Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style, Gunn’s Golden Rules: Life’s Little Lessons for Making It Work, and Tim Gunn’s Fashion Bible: The Fascinating History of Everything in Your Closet.
Gunn will speak with National Book Award finalist, Min Jin Lee, whose novel Pachinko was named by the New York Times as one of the “10 Best Books of 2017.” Pachinko was a selection in the best books of the year lists of NPR, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, Amazon, Goodreads, Esquire, BookPage, Book Riot, Refinery29, Chicago Public Library, and many others.
Notes from the Reading Life is a discussion series that features some of our most well-known and well-read neighbors discussing the books that excite and inspire them—the books that guided them through their careers (in art, entertainment, comedy, and more), helping to make them into who they are today. Presented in partnership by the National Book Foundation and The New York Public Library, Notes from the Reading Life will take place throughout June at four library branches in the Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island. At each event, the featured speaker will be in conversation with an acclaimed author, celebrating the formative role of books in both of their lives.
Notes from the Reading Life is a program co-presented by the National Book Foundation and The New York Public Library, supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
FIRST COME, FIRST SEATED
For free events, we generally overbook to ensure a full house. Priority will be given to those who have registered in advance, but registration does not guarantee admission. All registered seats are released shortly before start time, and seats may become available at that time. A standby line will form one hour before the program.
